Lemon… Slurry.
-
All I have to say to Martha Stewart is this:
Damn you.
(It’s kind of hard to serve a Lemon Cornmeal Shortbread Tart for The Husband’s birthday dessert when the candles won’t stand upright into the lemon filling. That’s right- candles don’t stand upright into things that are the consistency of soup. Martha’s recipe, the one I used for inspiration, had the wrong proportion of gelatin going on. I know it’s blasphemous to damn the queen of all things baking, but really. Lemon Birthday Soup just wasn’t what I had in mind.)
I managed to edit the recipe (adding more gelatin and WAY more lemon zest) in this post here… give it a try. There’s nothing like salvaging a recipe for disaster.

HI! I just recently (two days ago recently) discovered your blog, and I love it. I love reading you disasters, they are so much fun and gives me hope that I am not the only one having them.
On the topic of Martha though, there has not been one recipe of hers I have tried that came out the way it should. I know, don’t kill me, I like her stuff still. But I really have to question her recipes every time.
Too funny about your Martha comment. Her pictures are quite pretty, though, even if the recipes aren’t always reliable!
